Lyrics

Many a problems, many a joy
Life can be fun but never a toy
Many a good times, many a bad
Thankful for all those times that I've had
And when the sun comes tomorrow
And if I'm blessed With another day
At least I have found life's middle ground
Halfway up, halfway down
Oh whoa, yeah-ah
Many a sorrows, many a pain
Better a person I have became
Many a laugh and many a smile
Building up from ah every down
And when the sun comes tomorrow
And I'm blessed with another day
At least I have found life's middle ground
Halfway up, whoa oh, halfway down
Ooh.. oh whoa, well
Oh alright
Yes, many a woman, many a man
Have found themselves
Also right where I am
Many a lifetime, many a day
Searching to find a better way
And when the sun comes tomorrow
And I'm blessed with another day
At least I have found life's middle ground
Halfway up, halfway down
Oh, whoa, well
Ooh yeah, yeah..
(..)
Many a sorrows, many a fame
That of the person I have became
Many a laugh and many a smile
Building up from my every down
And when the sun comes tomorrow
And I'm blessed with another day
At least I have found life's middle ground
Halfway up, halfway up
Well.. oh whoa, well
Many a problems, many a joy
Life can't be fun but never a toy
Many a good times, many a bad
Thankful for all those times that I've had
And when the sun comes tomorrow
And I'm blessed with another day
At least I have found life's middle ground
Halfway up, halfway down
Oh, oh - halfway up, halfway down
Oh, oh - halfway up, whoa oh, halfway down
Halfway down, yeah, halfway up
Halfway down and halfway up
Not much further to go, well
Not much further to go, halfway up..
